Lost and Found Chapter 5, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 5

Everyone walked into Estella's house and went to the big den at the back of her house. Bowls of ships and popcorn were sitting out and Estella and Sam went to the kitchen before going into the den. They came in carrying 2-liters and five pizzas.

"Eat up everyone!" Estella said as her and Sam set the drinks and pizzas down.

"She means it," Austin said to Nessie as they walked over to get a drink. "Her parents are loaded, as you can tell by the house, and they always get tons of stuff when Stella has people from school over. And she has people from school over a lot."

"Glad to know," Nessie said with a smile. She looked around the big den. There were four big screen televisions. Two of them had Xbox's and two of them had Wii's. Plus there were two big couches, two loveseats, and four overstuffed chairs.

"Hey Austin, come play Halo with us!" Josh yelled. He was sitting at one of the televisions with Sam and Mark. They were all sitting on beanbags and there was an empty beanbag next to them. Estella walked up to Nessie and Austin as Josh yelled.

"Go play," Estella said. "You can't hog Vanessa all to yourself. I have to introduce her to everyone." Estella slid her arm through Nessie's in a friendly way.

"Okay. I'll catch up with you two later," Austin said with a smile then turned and went over to where the other three guys were. He picked up a controller and sat down on the empty beanbag.

"Boys and their video games," Estella said with a smile and a laugh. "Come on Vanessa and I'll introduce you to everyone."

"Sounds fun," Nessie said smiling back. Estella led Nessie over to two girls.

"This is Megan and Emily," Estella said, gesturing to each girl as she said their name. Megan was of average height and thin. She was very tan and had dark brown eyes. Her hair was dark brown, long, and straight. Emily had light, almost white blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She was thin and of average height too and she was a little pale. "Megan, Emily, this is the new girl, Vanessa. She just moved here with her uncle."

"Welcome to Rock Dale Vanessa," Emily said. Her voice was sort of airy and light. She had on a pair of light denim jeans and a simple yet extremely cute light pink top.

"Hi Vanessa," Megan said. She was drop dead gorgeous and didn't wear simple clothes. She had on a long sleeve dark purple top that laced up the front, dark denim skinny jeans, and dark purple patent leather pumps.

"Hi Vanessa," Megan said.

"I'm pleased to meet you both," Nessie said with a smile.

"So proper. So what brought you to this rainy town?" Megan asked.

"My Uncle Jake got a job here," Nessie said.

"Oh do you live with your uncle?" Megan asked.

"Yeah," Nessie said.

"Why do you live with your uncle?" Megan asked.

"Megan! That's rude." Emily said in her airy voice.

"Oh it's okay. I'm used to people asking about it," Nessie said with a shrug. "My parents died before I was even a year old. Our house was on fire and my dad brought me out of the house then ran back in to save my mom and they weren't able to get out. I don't even remember them."

"Oh you poor thing," Emily said. "That's so sad."

"I didn't even really know them since I wasn't even a year old. Plus I love living with Jake. He's really cool," Nessie said nonchalantly.

"I've got to finish introducing Vanessa to everyone," Estella said to change the subject.

"Bye Vanessa," Emily said, giving Nessie a smile.

"Talk to you later," Megan said.

"Bye," Nessie said with a smile as she walked away with Estella.

"Megan doesn't really think before she speaks. She doesn't mean to be rude. Well most of the time anyway. She can be a little mean and snobby sometimes but she's not that bad," Estella said.

"Oh I figured she didn't mean to be rude," Nessie said with a shrug. "I'm used to people asking about what happened to my parents that it doesn't bother me."

Estella and Nessie were now standing in front of two boys.

"This is Jon," Estella said pointing to one of the two guys they were standing in front of. Jon had brown hair and blue eyes. He was slightly muscular. "And this is Camren," she said pointing to the other boy. Camren had dirty blonde hair and green eyes. "Jon, Camren, this is Vanessa Wolfe. She's new."

"Hey," Jon said. He had a really nice smile.

"Hi Vanessa," Camren said, looking slightly down. He seemed sort of shy.

"Hi Jon. Hi Camren," Nessie said with a smile.

"So where'd you move from?" Jon asked.

"Well we lived in Verona, Maine before we moved here. I was born in Forks though," Nessie said. She normally didn't tell people where she was born but she was now because Forks was sort of close to Rock Dales.

"Wow that's not too far from here," Jon said. "Plus that's one of the few towns that's rainier than Rock Dales," he said laughing.

"Yeah," Nessie said with a little laugh. "I've always lived in rainy towns."

"Why?" Jon asked.

"I don't really know. Those are just the towns my Uncle Jake has always moved us to," Nessie said with a shrug.

"Jake?" Jon asked. Estella shot him a look to be quiet but he didn't see it. "You call your dad by his name?"

"No. Jake's my uncle. I've live with him because my parents died before I was even one year old," Nessie said before taking a sip of her drink. Jon and Camren just looked at her and didn't say anything.

"I didn't even know them so it's not like you guys have to watch what you say or anything," Nessie said before taking another drink. "Plus it just seems like Jake is my family. Like I didn't even have parents."

"So what do you think of Rock Dales High?" Jon asked to change the subject.

Nessie laughed softly to herself. "Oh I like it. Mostly everyone seems pretty nice and the teachers are nice. It's bigger than any of the other schools I've been to."

"How many schools have you been to?" Camren asked softly. He didn't look directly at Nessie as he spoke.

"Six. Rock Dales High makes seven," Nessie said nonchalantly.

Jon gave a low whistle. "Wow, that's a lot of schools."

"I guess," Nessie said with a shrug.

"Did you get kicked out of your old schools? Were you a bad girl?" Jon asked. It was obvious he was flirting.

"No I didn't get kicked out," Nessie said with a laugh. "It's just because Jake and I have moved around quite a bit."

"Is your uncle looking for something? Or would it be more correct to say something?" Estella joked.

"Who knows," Nessie said laughing.

"Hey Stella, my friends and I are going to use the pool," a voice said from the door.

Estella turned to look at the boy who the voice belonged to. "Okay. We're not using it anyway," she said turning back around.

Nessie had turned to look to see who the voice belonged to and she continued to look at the boy. He was somewhat tan even though he lived in an extremely rainy town. He had gorgeous blue eyes and shaggy, dirty blonde hair, and his arms were toned. He saw Nessie looking at him and smiled at her. Nessie smiled an embarrassed smile back and blushed slightly as she turned back to face Estella, Jon, and Camren.

"Who is that?" Nessie asked Estella.

"Who? Oh, that's my brother Philip," Estella said. "He's a sophomore."

"Oh, I see," Nessie said, glancing back at the door but Philip was already gone. "Wait isn't it kind of cold for a pool?" Nessie4 didn't feel the cold of course but she knew that rainy towns were normally chilly. She also knew that people normally didn't swim when it was chilly.

"It's heated. In fact I'm having a pool party this weekend. Well actually my brother and I both are. Anyway you should totally come. Plus the girls are spending the night afterwards," Estella said to Nessie.

"That sounds like fun. I'll ask Jake," Nessie said with a smile. She was excited that not only had she made a friend so quickly, but a pool party sounded like a lot of fun. Plus she wanted to see Philip again. She didn't know what it was but there was something about him.

"Maddie! Emma! Allison! Come over here!" Estella said to three girls that were talking to a group of boys. The three girls walked over. One girl had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She wore a simple fitted, red shirt, dark jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes.

"Yeah Stella?" that one asked.

"This is Vanessa. She just started at our school. Vanessa this is Maddie," Estella said, gesturing to the one who had spoken.

"Hi Vanessa," Maddie said with a smile.

"Hi Maddie," Nessie said smiling back.

"This is Allison," Estella said as she pointed to one of the other girls. Allison had almost white blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

"Hello Vanessa," Allison's voice was soft and light.

"Hi Allison." Nessie noticed that Allison looked a lot like Emily.

"I have a twin sister named Emily," Allison said, answering the question in Nessie's head.

"Oh that's cool. I've meet Emily," Nessie replied.

"Do you have any siblings?" Allison asked.

"No it's just me and my uncle Jake," Nessie said. She waited for the question that would surely come. Surprisingly none of the girls asked.

"The other one is Emma," Estella said. Emma was a very pretty African American girl who knew how to dress for her body and skin tone. She wore a pair of dark skinny jeans, a pair of black open-toe wedges, and a black shirt with a gold tank over it.

"Nice to meet you Vanessa," Emma said as she gave Nessie an extremely white smile.

"Nice to meet you too," Nessie said, giving Emma one of her best smiles.

A phone rang and Emma reached into her back pocket. She pulled out a cell phone, flipped it open, and read the text. "I've got to go," she said as she closed the phone. "My mom's here. I'll see you tomorrow and it was nice to meet you Vanessa," she said before walking off, grabbing her coat, and then leaving.

"Hey Allison, we've got to go," Emily said walking up.

"Okay Emily. Hey we're giving you a ride home right Maddie?" Allison asked.

"Yeah," Maddie said. "See ya Stella. Bye Vanessa."

"Adios," Allison said to Estella and Nessie with a laugh.

"See you tomorrow in math Stella. Bye Vanessa," Emily said.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow," Estella said.

"Bye," Nessie said with a smile. She pulled her phone out of her phone and glanced at the time. "I better text Jake so he can come pick me up. I need to unpack the rest of my clothes plus I think Jake wanted us to go out to dinner tonight." She texted Jacob so he would know to come pick her up.

"Okay," Estella said. "You want to sing till he gets here?" she asked, gesturing to an area that had a section of the floor raised up and had a little TV where the words fir karaoke were displayed and two microphones ion their stands. There were also two guitars and a drum set pushed to the back of the 'stage.' There were some kids over there that were singing.

"Sure. That sounds like fun," Nessie said with a smile and a laugh. Nessie and Estella walked over.

"You can pick the song," Estella said picking up a binder. Nessie opened it and started to flip through the laminated pages. She scanned the songs trying to pick one.

"When you pick one just look at the number and punch it in when these two girls are done," Estella said.

"Okay." Nessie didn't take her eyes off of the page so that she didn't lose her place. "How about I need a hero?"

"Sure. I like that song," Estella said. "What number?"

"218."

"Okay."

The two girls had finished singing and were putting the microphones back into the stands so Estella punched '218' in. She and Nessie go onto the 'stage.' Estella pulled one of the microphones out of the stand but Nessie decided to leave hers in. The music started to play and the words showed up on the TV. When the first words became highlighted Nessie and Estella started to sing.

"Where have all good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need."

Estella moved and danced around the stage while she sang.

"I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light. He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life."

Nessie pulled her microphone out of the stand and really started to get into the song. She started to move and dance around the stage too.

"Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me racing on the thunder and rising with the heat. It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet."

Estella smiled when she saw Nessie really getting into the song. People stopped what they were doing and walked over to the stage. The stood there watching Estella and Nessie. Estella saw them come but Nessie didn't notice them because she was so into the song. They both continued to sing.

Estella and Nessie finished singing and then Nessie noticed that everyone had come over to the stage. She blushed a little as Estella and her put their microphones back in the stands. Everyone started clapping and whistling and shouting. Nessie and Estella smiled at all of them and took a bow. When they straightened up Nessie saw Phillip and his friends. He was looking straight at her. When she looked at him he gave her a big smile so she gave him a smile back and blushed a little again.

"Come on," Estella said to Nessie with a laugh as she climbed off of the stage.

Nessie climbed off of the stage. She was laughing too. "That was so much fun Stella!" she said to Estella.

"You're a really good singer!" Estella said.

"Thanks. You're awesome too," Nessie said. The smile was still on her face.

"That was awesome!" Austin said as he gave Nessie a hug.

"Thanks," Nessie said with a giggle. Austin let go of her and she saw that Mark, Whitney, Josh, and Sam had all come over too.

"OMG you are such a good singer Vanessa," Whitney said.

"Thanks Whitney," Nessie said. "But I wouldn't have sounded as good if Stella hadn't been singing with me."

"That's a lie," Estella said.

"That was pretty good for you Stella," a voice teased. They all turned to look at who had spoken and saw that it was Philip.

"Like you could do better," Estella teased back.

"I would cream you," Philip joked back.

"Whatever Phil. You're all talk, no talent."

Philip put his hand over his heart. "Oh that hurts little sis." Then he grinned. He looked at Nessie. "Hi. I'm Philip. Or Phil. I go by both. I'm this dork's older brother," he said with a laugh.

"Hi Phil. I'm Vanessa. I'm new," Nessie said giving Philip a smile.

"Well hello then Vanessa," Philip said giving Nessie a gorgeous smile. "Awesome job."

"Oh thanks. I don't sing very much. Well I do when I'm listening to music in my room by myself but not much otherwise," Nessie said. The she realized how stupid that sounded.

"Well you should sing more often," Philip said with another gorgeous smile and a laugh.

Nessie giggled then her phone went off in her back pocket. She pulled it out and read the text message from Jacob. She replied then put her phone back in her pocket. "That was Jake, I've got to go. Thanks for inviting me," Nessie said to Estella.

"You're welcome. I'll see you at school tomorrow. Oh and just let me know if you can come to the pool party," Estella said with a smile.

"Okay. I'll ask Jake tonight and tell you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye Vanessa," Estella said.

"See you Vanessa. You should totally come to the pool party," Philip said as Nessie started to leave.

"Okay. Hopefully I can. Bye Phil," Nessie said. She turned and walked out of Estella's house. She had a little smile on her face as she climbed into the car. It was only about 5:00.

"Did you have a good time?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah. It was lots of fun and Estella introduced me to tons of new people," Nessie said.

"Do you want to go out to eat?" Jacob asked as he pulled out of Estella's driveway. "There's this nice seafood restaurant in the next town."

"By nice do you mean fancy? Like we have to wear nice clothes?" Nessie asked.

"Yeah we have to wear nice clothes."

"Okay. You know how much I love seafood and that I like getting dressed up," Nessie said with a laugh.

"I should know that by now. I've been taking care of you for almost your whole life," Jacob said with a laugh.

"You're never going to let me forget that are you?" Nessie joked.

"Nope," Jacob joked back. "We'll just stop by the house so we can get changed and I figured you would want to do your hair and whatever and then we'll go."

"Okay." Nessie's phone vibrated in her pocket so she pulled it out and read the text that Estella had sent her. 'ask ur uncle if u can come!' Nessie pressed 'REPLY' and typed 'ok i'm askin rite now'. "Hey Jake, Estella's having a pool party this Friday and she wanted to know if I could come."

"A pool party? Isn't it kind of cold for someone to have a pool party?" Jacob asked.

"Well her pool is heated. Can I please come?" Nessie asked.

"Well…I guess you can go," Jacob said.

"Thanks Jake!" Nessie squealed. Nessie turned the music on as they continued to drive to their house. They got to the house and went inside.

"Remember, you only have a half hour Nessie," Jacob teased as Nessie headed towards her room.

"I know, I know," Nessie said with a laugh.
